A breakthrough text in its first edition, this theory textbook is
returning in its second edition. Publish for ODP students studying
at degree level, the text maps neatly onto the ODP degree
curriculum. Written by experts from the ODP profession the book
covers the core theoretical and professional components of the ODP
curriculum, including chapters on: •Professionalism •Law
•Ethics •Reflective practice •Decision making •Psychosocial
aspects of care •Research and evidence-based practice The second
edition returns to provides a much-needed update to this specific
introduction to the theoretical subjects identified within the
current pre-registration qualification, aiming to highlight the
importance of these key areas that are at the foundations of
practice. Many ODP students and ODP clinicians currently struggle
to link abstract theories (e.g. interprofessional care, research,
sociological theories, and psychosocial care) directly to their
practice and professional role within the context of Operating
Department Practice. The work will also seek to encompass the
lessons learnt from the pandemic, and how best these can be
incorporated broadly to enhance the text around teamwork,
leadership; wellbeing; communication; research, audit and
implementation; roles and responsibilities; as well as legal and
ethical aspects.
This case book is the ideal text for Operating Department
Practitioners (ODPs), as well as student ODPs and nurses preparing
to work in perioperative care. Delivering individualised, holistic
and evidence-based care can be challenging in the perioperative
setting, requiring the practitioner to apply specialist clinical
knowledge to each individual patient. This text presents 20
interactive case studies that will support the reader in
assimilating a wide range of professional knowledge in order to
develop a comprehensive plan of care for patients they encounter.
The practical cases: * Demonstrate how care will vary depending on
the patient's physiological assessment and their personal, social,
cultural and emotional needs * Will consolidate the reader's
learning around pathophysiology, pharmacology, assessment skills
and clinical skills * Include common clinical procedures as well as
those that are more complex and require a deeper analysis of the
evidence in order to improve patient care. * Use "Stop and Think"
boxes to encourage readers to reflect on key points within the case
study, in order to develop their own knowledge and assist in their
CPDThis text will support all learners, at both pre- and
post-registration level as they develop their knowledge of
perioperative care. Its goal is to help the practitioner deliver
excellent and confident care in perioperative practice and in other
healthcare settings."Although clearly targeted at the student
Operating Department Practitioner, Abbott and Wordsworth have
produced a learning resource that any learner in the perioperative
environment will find both informative and a useful learning aid.
The editors have set out the twenty patient case studies in a
sequence that allows the student to work through them as their
course and competence progresses, although students can dip into
the case studies in any order that supports their current clinical
placement. The section introducing perioperative care is essential
reading for any perioperative practitioner, with an up-to-date
introduction to the latest concepts of teamwork and human factors
in patient safety. Coupled with the patient-centred focus of the
case studies this provides any reader with an understanding of the
changing approach to patient care in the perioperative
environment." Bill Kilvington, President, College of Operating
Department Practitioners, UK "I have read this book several times
and found that the chapter contents are excellent. This book will
be useful for ODPs and theatre nurses, it will enhance their
knowledge and skills and may also enhance their abilities to work
in operating departments and care well for patients. The book
covers preoperative care, intraoperative care and postoperative
care which is essential for all practitioners working in operating
departments. The content of this book is very informative and will
be of great use to both students and qualified practitioners. I
find it very impressive and I envisage it to be very useful to all
theatre practitioners!" Paul Wicker, formerly Head of Perioperative
Studies, Edge Hill University, UK and Visiting Professor, Nanjing
University, China.
